That would require ordinary people- not billionaires- to take charge of it.
Amen, humanitarian aid is where they always run short.
I know, it’s why I do my small part to try to change it, but big money is power.
Hence the U.N. or a neutral force.

Yes- but that's only because people are silly enough to vote for it. These gross, overfed effigies of statesmen are their HEROES !
In the streets of Sana'a, fighters chant, “Death to America, death to Israel, curses to the Jews, and victory to Islam.” The great irony of this slogan, of which members of the Houthi family are likely unaware, is that the Houthis were receiving weapons and support from Israel decades before receiving military aid from Iran. The Houthi movement and their loyal tribes have long been opportunistic recipients of international support, the origin of which seldom figured in the domestic nature of their political struggles.

The people who are hijacking humanitarian aid don't care how neutral you are.
Where were you delivering humanitarian aid?
Yes. It is insidious.
No shit. Pick a country.

That Izrael has a world-wide arms-dealing enterprise is hardly news to anybody.

Yemen? Afghanistan?
Those are two. Add most of the African continent, a good portion of Asia, many other countries with national disasters. For many, many years now.

Were insurgents shooting at you?
Sometimes. Not that often. To be quite honest most of them do not have a clue how to use a weapon properly. Probably the reason more of them end up dead in a firefight.
